Swisse Kids Vitamins Review + GIVEAWAY

Health is an important thing within our household, both Dan & I care have health focused minds (well majority of the time when it's not cheat meals). About six (6) years ago I started taking supplements, vitamins etc all of that jazz because I started to learn more about your bodies needs, the health system and what each amino acid within vitamins/supplements was used/needed for.

When Niah was about 1.5 - 2 years old we started her on having a vitamin aka 'lolly' daily. I was worried as Niah wasn't a good eater at all; refusing vegetables, meat, fruit and only eating what you would consider to be bad foods. I didn't want her to be missing out on all the vitamins that come from vegetables, meat and fruit so I took a stroll down the vitamins for kids isle at the pharmacies and have made it a ritual daily in Niah's diet to have a vitamin.

We have always used the same brand since day dot simply because I knew it was something Niah liked and I didn't want to change it up but we have been put to the test with Miss Niah as we were kindly gifted the Swisse Kids range to try out.

Swisse Kids have recently launched five (5) vitamins underneath their belt to aid with many things that may lack in our babies diets. At current what we use is just a multi vitamin to help aid with all the goodness Niah lacks within her fussy eating diet.

The first one in the range we had to try was the Kids Multi vitamin in which is a different form of vitamin in comparison to what Niah is used to so it took a little while to get used to as she had always had the squishy chew tablet rather than the hard form lolly like Swisse. The flavour was fine being natural berry and Niah didn't screw her nose up at it so that was a plus.

Swisse Kids Vitamin C + Zinc and Probiotic are the other hard form lolly vitamins through the range where you'll get soft liquid vitamins through the Swisse Kids Fish Oil and Calcium + D3.

The liquid ones are the ones Niah struggled with to begin with as she would chew and then get a shock when the vitamin would burst and release the inner liquid.

The Fish Oil one isn't as bad as an adults one I say, although it does smell like sushi which would be expected.

Each pack contains 50 chewable sugar-free vitamins, that contain nothing at all that will have allergies playing up and can be found for purchasing at pharmacies for $24.99 RRP each.

Swisse Kids have kindly also gifted x2 prize packs valued at $100 each containing all x4 products as featured above to try out the vitamins yourself.

My kids have used multi vitamins in the past, and they really liked them. They seemed to be eating them like lollies. The only thing I found that you need to really check the ingredients and the sugar levels, as some brands/types are really sugar loaded.

Yes my kid stake vitamins every day, fish oil and Multi, my youngest is credibly fussy and has aversions to lots of foods including, meat and vegetables. Nutritionists recommends supplements and protein powder in shakes as well as getting her to try new foods and textures even in small amounts

Tried and are on vitamins and have been since I was 20 I think. Never hurts. Your body flushes out what you don't need. My youngest would definitely benefit from these kids ones though. Haven't tried yet but am very eager to.

Haven't had a big deal to do with vitamins in the house, but with the youngest starting school next year I wouldn't mind letting the kids try them out to try and beat those bugs that get around at teh start of the school year.

Having never been to daycare before when my daughter started Kinder she would catch everything and pass it onto her 2 year old brother too! I decided to try Swisse ProBiotic and suddenly she wasn't catching everything all the time, we are all much happier!
